In Just - context Summary
Published in 1923
Published in E. E. Cummings's 1923 collection Tulips and Chimneys, "In Just-" offers a brief, playful scene of spring through children's voices and a mysterious balloonman figure. The poem's unconventional spacing and repetition create a sense of movement and delight, capturing both the season's freshness and a slightly uncanny undertone as playtime converges with an ambiguous adult presence. It exemplifies Cummings's early experimental style.
